From the Paper:

"Healthcare and all of the fractured issues included in it is one of the most explosive topics in our society today, both politically and consumer wise. Horror stories are continually told about, among other things, the costs of insurance, the inability to receive care, racial and ethnic disparity, and a host of other intervening variables and conditions. Sometime in the past several years America's healthcare system has managed to avoid the checks and balances of the institutional system and plunge into a state of national crises. Economic and business driven healthcare (i.e., market), wherein medical practitioners are seemingly more interested in stock options and bottom line profits than in their patients, is a blight on society as a whole as well as a failing grade for the government whose obligation it is to preserve and protect the country's citizenry."
